Tort Liability

A “tort”, otherwise known as an intentional civil wrong not arising out of a contract, arises when someone by their acts/inaction injures someone else. The injured person then has a right to recovery for the injuries sustained and for the expenses that are related to the wrongful act. Common examples of torts are:

Assault & Battery

Physical/Emotional Injury as a result of outrageous behavior

Slander/Libel (harmful rumors/lies either verbal or in writing)

False imprisonment

Racial profiling

Loss of consortium (breakdown of marital relationship)

Negligence (failing to take steps to prevent harm to another)

Civil Rights Violations

Tort liability is often difficult to prove as a result of the type/nature of the injuries involved. As such, if you were harmed as a result of another person or entity, it is imperative that you retain experienced and aggressive counsel to assist you in stating a claim.
